<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">On May 23, 2019, the Boards of Directors of Mercantile Bank Corporation (&ldquo;Mercantile&rdquo;), and of Mercantile&rsquo;s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mercantile Bank of Michigan (the &ldquo;Bank&rdquo;), adopted an executive officer bonus plan for 2019 (the &ldquo;Executive Officer Plan&rdquo;).</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The Executive Officer Plan provides for cash bonuses for: Robert B. Kaminski, Jr., the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mercantile and the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank; Charles E. Christmas, the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer of Mercantile, and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Bank; Raymond E. Reitsma, the President of the Bank and Executive Vice President of Mercantile; Robert T. Worthington, the Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary of Mercantile and the Bank; and Lonna L. Wiersma, the Senior Vice President and Human Resource Director of the Bank and Mercantile.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The maximum amount that can be allocated to the bonus pool is $615,831 under the Executive Officer Plan, provided, however, that the maximum amount will be appropriately adjusted if (a) a newly hired employee becomes eligible to participate in the plan, (b) a participant&#39;s base salary is adjusted during the year, or (c) a participant becomes ineligible before December 31, 2019.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">Payment from the bonus pool under the plan, if any, is based on the achievement of targets under the following metrics for 2019:</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">12.5%&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-performing assets</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The specific targets for each metric will be established by the Compensation Committee of Mercantile&#39;s Board of Directors.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">Each individual target must be met or exceeded in order for the percentage associated with that metric to be credited toward payment from the bonus pool under the plan. The accumulated percentage for each individual target attained will be applied to the bonus pool amount to determine the total amount of the bonus pool to be awarded (the &quot;Award Amount&quot;). For example, if the first four factors are attained and the next four factors are not attained, and if the maximum amount is allocated to the bonus pool under the Executive Officer Plan, the Award Amount would be $615,831 x 50% = $307,915.50.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The Award Amount will be paid to each participant pro rata based on a uniform percentage of the participant&#39;s 2018 salary, (not to exceed: 40% of the 2019 salary of each of the Chief Executive Officer; 35% of the 2019 salary of each of the Chief Financial Officer and the President of the Bank; and 27.5% of the 2019 salary of the Chief Operating Officer Human Resources Director, under the plan.) Any bonus awards that are earned under the plan will be paid to the executive officers on or before March 15, 2020.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">For item 4, the Board of Directors recommended an advisory vote frequency of &ldquo;One Year&rdquo; for the future non-binding advisory resolutions to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. With the alternative of holding the executive compensation vote every &ldquo;One Year&rdquo; receiving the highest number of votes cast on the frequency proposal, the Board has determined that the Company will hold future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers every year, at least until the next required vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. A shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of the shareholder advisory vote on the compensation paid to the Company&rsquo;s named executive officers is required to be held at least once every six years.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Each individual target must be met or exceeded in order for the percentage associated with that metric to be credited toward payment from the Executive Bonus Pool. The accumulated percentage for each individual target attained will be applied to the Executive Bonus Pool to determine the total amount of the Executive Bonus Pool to be awarded (the &ldquo;Award Amount&rdquo;). For example, if the first four factors are attained and the next four factors are not attained, and if the maximum amount is allocated to the Executive Bonus Pool, the Award Amount under this Plan would be $615,831 x 50% = $307,915.50.</p>
